Gallery Stroll – January 2011
Community is very important to artists. It feeds their creativity, influences their subject matter and validates their work. The creative process can be daunting and lonely. Combine that with the cost of good ventilated space and you end up with a warehouse full of artists’ studios: separate spaces, but community living. One such place is Captain Captain. … read more
Gallery Stroll – March 2011
It’s said that March enters with the roar of a lion and exits with the calm and subtlety of a lamb. No matter its entrance, March marks a change in the season. This month’s Gallery Stroll picks were selected because they have entered the scene with subtlety, but they are boldly making roaring additions to the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll scene. … read more
Gallery Stroll – April 2011
We’ve all heard the saying “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure,” Salt Lake City artist Reclaimed Sentiment is putting that theory to test. Using discarded mass-produced landscapes and old LDS Primary class images Reclaimed Sentiment transforms the unwanted and forgotten into the extraordinary and refreshing by following two rules: Everything used to create the art must be found secondhand and the art must be affordable and accessible to the masses. … read more
Gallery Stroll – May 2011
Artist Todd Powelson and writer Anna West know that taking themselves and art too seriously makes for a dull life, and these two are anything but dull. Powelson is an experienced artist, graphic designer and illustrator, and West is a marketing guru and writer.

Gallery Stroll – June 2011
When planning my Friday nights, two criteria rise above the rest: alcohol and art. These activities need not be mutually exclusive, hence my long love affair with the Gallery Stroll. This month, as SLUG celebrates all things beer, we’ll look at beer art, the art of beer, drinking beer while we look at art and beer as the motivator rather than the inhibitor. … read more
Gallery Stroll – July 2011
I often hear people speak of old businesses that no longer exist in Salt Lake. The conversation is always the same: “Damn! I wish … was still around—they were the best!” I ask you this: If they were the best, why’d we let them go? Soap box and drum roll please… Citizens of Salt Lake, the Kayo Gallery needs our help! … read more
Gallery Stroll – August 2011
Businesses and galleries are fighting for a piece of the local art palette. The layout, format and even the players in Salt Lake’s art scene are always changing. Change can be good, as long as you are up with the times and know where to go to find what you crave. Thanks to the powers that be (SLUG’s insightful and cutting edge editorial staff) I’m happy to keep you informed of the whos, whats and why-wouldn’t-yas of Salt Lake’s Gallery Stroll. … read more

Gallery Stroll – November 2011
I’ve tried to make my own Christmas gifts before, and I’d like to apologize to anyone who has ever received a lopsided crocheted cap or a batch of slightly burned cookies. After strolling through the amazing Craft Lake City booths, I was ashamed! If you’re like me, and can’t cut in a straight line, worry no more. My Holiday Boutique and Gallery Stroll Guide will have you looking like Susie Homemaker without ever having to pull out a hot glue gun. … read more
